I need to organize notes on what I've read by Kahlil Gibran. Will update this when I flip through and see which books exactly I've read.

A treasure trove of poetic, soul-infused insight and wisdom.

Feed the lamp with oil and let it not dim, and/
Place it by you, so I can read with tears what/
Your life with me has written upon your face.

Beautifully lush writing. I annoyed people by continually reading them parts of this work. Sorry J.

just buy it and keep it, anyway, anyhow you can.

I grew up reading Kahlil Gibran. The last time I read his works was over fifteen years ago but I still remember the profound impression his musings, stories and prose poems had on my adolescent imagination. There was always a copy of his works by the side of my bed.

Kahlil was a dreamer. My friends used to call him a madman.

Our world needs dreamers and madmen.

Beautiful. My own personal views of the Church and Jesus are summed up in The Crucified and I want Song of the Soul to be read at my funeral someday. I always wondered if I was the only one who felt the way I do but found a kindred spirit in Kahlil Gibran. So glad to have found his work. Sums up the Holy Spirit perfectly in today's materialistic world.

The prophet is my all time favorite book and I turn to his writings in general the way some people turn to the bible.

I love Gibran

Hard for me to read. I gave up. I will try again later.

Very interesting

Kahlil Gibran is a good writer. His influences were of the times that he was writing in, as some of his opinions and his worldview are dated. It was a good opportunity to peek into the reality of one who writes completely different when compared with the Western writers whose work I’ve passively read.

His opinions on love, spirituality, and the things that he envisions are not of our present reality - good material for deriving new creative work. I’ve highlighted the gems that stood out the most to me.

i read it a few years back, but every once and a while i find my self coming back to it, just opening at random and reading.
